Electrical supervision and control (electrical SCADA)

A centralised view of the electrical system: SICAM SCC, SICAM A8000, IEC 61850 and integrated protection relays.

Electrical supervision and control (electrical SCADA)
  • SICAMSICAM SCC electrical SCADA and control with SICAM A8000
  • IEC 61850protection relay integration and GOOSE messaging
  • 2Nredundant control units
  • FAT · SATtest and injection procedures

We design and integrate supervision and control systems for the electrical installation (Fault Monitoring System) that give the plant a centralised view of its electrical system: what is happening, where and why.

We cover the complete system: engineering and manufacture of the control and communications cabinets, configuration of the electrical control with redundant units, the electrical SCADA and the integration of all protection relays. A single point of contact from design to handover documentation.

What we do

Electrical SCADA – SICAM SCC

Centralised supervision of the entire electrical installation.

  • Single-line diagrams with electrical measurements and breaker status
  • Alarms, events, historian and trends
  • Communications diagnostics
  • Secure, scalable remote access

Electrical control – SICAM A8000

Redundant control units for maximum availability.

  • Configuration of the plant’s electrical control
  • Redundant architecture designed for availability
  • Communication with the plant control system (Modbus TCP)

Protection relays and IEC 61850

Integration of protection relays and electrical equipment.

  • Siemens SIPROTEC 5 and Reyrolle 5 relays
  • Transfer logic between incoming supplies
  • GOOSE messaging between devices
  • Integration of MCCs, main LV switchboards, drives and analysers

Protection and transfer functions reside in the relays and keep working independently of the SCADA: supervision adds information and never takes away safety.

Engineering, manufacturing and testing

  • Engineering of the control and communications cabinets: dimensional drawings, electrical schematics and equipment documentation
  • Design and manufacture of the cabinets in our workshop
  • Configuration of industrial communications
  • FAT and SAT procedures, and hardware, software and injection tests
  • Operation and maintenance manuals and technical handover documentation

What it delivers

  • A centralised, real-time view of the electrical system
  • Information to identify and analyse incidents quickly
  • Support for diagnostics and maintenance
  • A redundant architecture designed for control availability
